Red Wings Visit Panthers with Playoff Hopes on Life Support
Apr 6, 2025; Detroit, Michigan, USA; Detroit Red Wings goaltender Cam Talbot (39) watches a fight against the Florida Panthers during the third period at Little Caesars Arena. (Tim Fuller, Imagn Images) According to the Detroit Red Wings' playoff chances have dwindled to just 0.5%, following Tuesday's 4–1 loss in Montreal, yet the season continues and the schedule remains merciless. On Thursday night, the Red Wings pay a visit to the defending Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, looking to win a battle in a war they may have already lost. Advertisement Bookmark The Hockey News Detroit Red Wings team site to stay connected to the latest news, game-day coverage, and player features. Even at just four days remove, it will be a much different Panthers team to the one Detroit edged out 2–1 on Sunday. Defenseman Gustav Forsling and forwards Aleksander Barkov and Sam Reinhart (all of them rested for that game) returned to the Florida lineup in Tuesday's win over the Maple Leafs. Forward Nico Sturm (acquired from San Jose at the trade deadline) is also expected to rejoin the lineup. Even with that slew of returns, the Panthers will still be without a handful of key contributors: Matthew Tkachuk, Sam Bennett, and Dmitry Kulikov, while Carter Verhaeghe is expected to be given the night off.

For Detroit, the evening is a matter of winning and hoping for the miracle requisite to spring it back to serious playoff contention. The Red Wings will be returning to Cam Talbot in net for that operation, while they may be forced into a lineup change should Elmer Soderblom (who did not take morning skate) prove unable to go, in which case Austin Watson would fold into the lineup.
